Great polish and very intuitive gameplay! I think the difficulty curve was a bit extreme, I couldn't get very far at all x)

Super straight forward concept with heaps of polish and depth to keep it fun! Awesome work :)
This is a really hard game. Like extremely difficult. I think the design idea of FLOW might help a bit? With self-regulating ramping difficulty. It is quite satisfying to win though with all the effect and such.
I really enjoyed this! At first I thought it was going to be a match game but then I realized it wasn't and was instead something way more interesting and enjoyable. Definitely tough but fun. And I love that you integrated a "shop" phase too, and that the difficulty ramps and ramps. I think you executed on this idea really well, awesome job!
Not bad! Unfortunately, my short-term memory is terrible...
A fun and interesting game. Love the concept of a memory game which is very creative even though my memory is awful making it really hard for me. The audio and visuals were good and made the game even better. Maybe saying how much fish there are that you need to pick would be nice but I wouldn't find that a complete detriment to the game. I still found it quite enjoyable. You made something really fun and creative in only two days. Good luck on the jam!
Hey, thanks for playing! I really appreciate all the feedback! I love the idea of telling the player the number of fish as it can definitely lower the difficulty a little without really giving much away at all. I think difficulty is definitely a little too high right now, so this is a very clever way to address it! Thanks again for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed!
the topic is almost not touched upon, the idea with the puzzle is not bad but not fully disclosed the game turned out not bad but there is room for growth
Hey! Thanks for playing! As to address your comments, I decided to take the topic, "Roll of the Dice" a little more in the theoretical sense rather than the literal, as I knew many people would take it literally and focus on using the most common D6 die and D20 die. Of course, being conscious of people who wouldn't see the tie to the theme as much, I did incorporate dice into my game, albeit a bit half-heartedly due to time constraints. Basically between every round, you "roll the dice" to get the board, and it's supposed to imply that each face of the dice have different fish on them, thus creating the board in the game. Also, as for the more definite incorporation, we have "Roll of the Dice" implying that there is an element of randomness, which comes from the board being randomly chosen every time, and also the fish you're supposed to flip over is randomly chosen as well. As for the "puzzle" aspect, it's not really supposed to be a puzzle, but rather a memory game. Hopefully that clears up the confusion about the theme. You're right, adding instructions is definitely something I can implement right now though haha. I thought it was self-explanatory but getting thrown into the game like that might not be the best idea. I do also think like others have mentioned, the difficulty is a bit high, so hopefully you were able to progress despite it being kind of hard. Thank you so much for the feedback, it's very helpful! If you have any specific ideas to improve the game, please let me know! Again, thanks for playing! :)
Cool Little game !
Very basic idea but implemented very well. The shop between round is a relly nice add to make you want to keep playing.
good work :)
First memory game I see in this jam. Also the first fish-themed dice :)
Like the idea of having a shop between rounds. Good job!
This is quite nice, love those memory games. Maybe missing a menu, but other than that its good. Extra bonus on mobile compatibilty !
Unique idea and very fun to play, with simple but effective visuals. Despite itch.io giving a warning saying this wasn't made for mobile, it worked perfectly on my phone and was an enjoyable way to spend some time
This is so brutally hard lol, and I thought I had a good memory. Are the number of each fish random? Sometimes you luck out and are looking for 2, sometimes you need to click half the board which is where things get really tricky
Also I really undervalued .5s at the beginning. So significant!
Hey, thanks for your comment! I definitely agree with the difficulty thing. It's a little too hard haha. I mean, I could say this was a rage game and that it's a feature lol but that'd be kinda mean. The number of fish is random, with a minimum and maximum number, but I think also part of the difficulty is the minimum goes up really fast. The viewing time upgrade definitely seems useless but it makes a big difference haha. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing! :)
Although a simple game, I found it quite challenging! Or maybe I am just tired :) The music with water visuals made it quite relaxing overall. Even when failing.
